Relationships: past Bucky/Steve, Pepper/Tony, possible future Clint/Steve or Clint/Natasha/Steve, possible Bruce/Pepper/Tony

So I read this fic about the crew of Deep Space 9 playing a holo novel of The Avengers and, while I was super amused by it and would gladly read more if the author wrote more, I had other ideas about some of the character match-ups.

I have gotten really bored with being single and decided it's time to start dating again, or really, looking for someone to date. Because my friendship group is so insular I have no one left in town that used to be on my "If I break up with my SO I'll go after them" list, and I honestly don't think that anyone I'm friends with could think of any ( Read more... )

This week I took three vacation days and spent most of them visiting my sister.

She was fun to hang out with as always. I got to hear some really hilarious stories from her past dating exploits. We went to a huge bookstore and I picked up Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon for myself and Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett and Monty Python ( Read more... )
